Nintendo’s new console handheld hybrid is shaping up to be quite the dreamy gaming device. And it’s also starting to look like a customized NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet (which is probably why the chip maker hasn’t launched a new one yet). One of the biggest questions about the device has just been answered, by anonymous sources no less. So yes, the Nintendo Switch will apparently sport a touch screen, but a rather middling one. But it’s not your DS or Wii U touch screen, mind you, as, for the first time in Nintendo’s history, it will support multiple touch points.

Nintendo has released yet another Pokemon Sun and Moon trailer that finally - after a series of leaks of rumors - confirms the final evolutions for the games' starter Pokemon. Though we saw sprites for all of these Pokemon after the recent datamine of the Sun and Moon demo, this trailer features a significant amount of new information on them.

With all of the fuss surrounding the Nintendo Switch, you'd be forgiven if you forgot that Super Mario Run is a thing that exists. Its release is coming up quickly, with the game scheduled to launch on iOS sometime in December. Nintendo has released some early pricing details for the game, giving players an idea of what to expect when it finally launches.

If you are one of the many gamers enamoured with what the Nintendo Switch has to offer, Nintendo has confirmed the Nintendo Switch Presentation to be coming on January 12. The presentation will be streamed live on that date, but an exact time hasn't been offered. January 12 is a long time away for impatient gamers, but at least we know when more details are coming at this point even if we don't know what details Nintendo will be offering officially.

Nintendo may be tight-lipped when it comes to Switch hardware and launch titles, but it certainly isn't about the number of consoles it expects to sell after launch. Speaking after the company revealed its latest round of financials, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima said that the company expects to sell 2 million Switch consoles at launch.

Pokemon GO's first event is set for Halloween so today we've begun to prepare in earnest. Starting at 12:01 in the morning, before the sun comes up on the 26th of October, Pokemon GO Halloween begins. At that time we'll be able to get more rewards for some actions and more incentive to do others.

There are still plenty of questions surrounding Nintendo's Switch, but one by one, Nintendo seems to be knocking them out. One major question centers around whether or not the console will be backward compatible. Nintendo consoles have generally been pretty good with backward compatibility, but that looks like it's all changing with the release of the Switch.

All eyes may be on the Switch at the moment, but that's not stopping Nintendo from releasing a new 3DS variant. Nintendo has teamed up with Amazon to launch a lime green New 3DS XL, and the loud, vibrant color isn't the only thing that makes this special edition stand out. That's because this lime green New 3DS XL ships with a copy of Super Mario World pre-installed.

Niantic has announced a Pokemon GO Halloween event, the first in-game event ever for the mega-popular title. Much like Niantic's previous biggest game title, Ingress, this event will take place for a limited time. In the time allotted, players of the game will have the opportunity to capture far more ghostly or otherwise Halloween-friendly Pokemon, while they'll find more Pokemon Candy coming their way as well.

Hot on the heels of the Switch reveal, Nintendo has shared more footage from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We're getting a rather in-depth look here, as the video clocks in at more than 40 minutes long. However, don't expect to see it played on the Switch - this video deals exclusively in the Wii U version of the game.

Back in the earlier days of console gaming we all had to plug cartridges into our consoles to play. It was many years before the CD and DVD became the method of running games on your console system. A game designer called Michel Ancel has been around since those early days of gaming and one of the popular games that he worked on decades ago was called Rayman and the game was for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Nintendo's new Switch is certainly an interesting piece of hardware, but there's still many things we don't know about the upcoming game console, and even more the company won't tell us. Fortunately there are a few small details that Nintendo has clarified since the initial teaser video was released last week, including the fact that the console's docking station is little more than, well, a dock.
